I was led to Popmundo from another RP forum that I used to enjoy/run (which eventually gave way to another forum where I used my own Pop-characters as well as my own interpretations of several others). A fellow admin had gotten into Popmundo, and she urged a bunch of us to join with her. There were about 9 or 10 of us that all registered within the last couple days of 2008, and now it's just Megan and me. Kinda crazy.
Anyway, I distinctly remember spending about two days playing around in this blue world, thinking how it made no sense and was entirely too complicated. I was like eff this, I already have the MAB forum, I don't need another RP game. But then Kara jumped in, and at the beginning we'd actually sit there in my room or her living room or wherever on our laptops, trying to get through 'mother's wishes.' It probably wasn't until the beginning of February that I started really figuring things out, and it's been pretty smooth sailing ever since.
I just went back and was read through those two forums, and even though the first one is all characters inspired by a Facebook game and the second is inspired by Popmundo... the common name between the families is Madalynne, and I actually kind of kept her the same person. HAHA! Well, Troy too, but Troy Pozluszny and Troy Urban are drastically different. Good times.
Anyway, happy anniversary to us, and Happy New Year to everyone! I'll be acting old tonight, it's gonna be 5° out (Fahrenheit, people. It's fucking cold.) and I'm not in my twenties anymore. I'll be going to my friend's house to play Call of Duty and drink margaritas all night. Maybe we'll stumble up the street to our other friend's bar for the ball drop, but other than that, just hanging out. I might take my laptop over, so that if he starts playing GTA V, I can entertain myself in the Popoverse while I'm watching.
